PHILADELPHIA -- Jenifer Bland-Campbell, RD, ARAMARK Senior Director of Nutrition Program Development, will present tips on educating and marketing to health-focused consumers at the 2006 MenuDirections Conference, presented by FoodService Director magazine.

This fourth annual conference,

which runs March 19-21 in Orlando, Florida, showcases the latest ideas, flavors and products to operators and chefs in the noncommercial food service industry. These operators manage dining services at hospitals, educational institutions and businesses across the country.

Bland-Campbell will share nutritional insights gathered by ARAMARK (NYSE:RMK) as the basis for programs operators may implement to support a health-focused dining public.

"ARAMARK's Nutritional DiningStyles(R) Research demonstrates that consumers today are more time-pressed and more health-focused than ever," said Bland-Campbell. "Operators must continually find innovative ways to reach those consumers quickly and educate them while doing so."

More information on the Nutritional DiningStyles(TM) Research, including an online calculator where consumers can find their own dining style and receive dietary tips, is available at www.diningstyle.com.
